Getting a Delaware Mortgage License

Getting a mortgage loan officer license in Delaware offers many benefits, such as a high earning potential—especially if you successfully make plenty of loans. You’ll also get to grow your personal and business network as you work with other people and meet more clients. It’s an excellent choice for social people who work diligently and are willing to learn more.

Becoming a licensed MLO in Delaware means complying with Delaware’s education requirements and passing the licensure exam. Our mortgage license courses meet the required credits and include test prep sessions so you can pass your exam with confidence.

Delaware Mortgage License Education Requirements:

In Delaware, you’ll need a minimum of 20 hours of NMLS-approved mortgage education. The National course and the National SAFE test prep are available as a bundle for only $239 through Mortgage Educators & Compliance. Taking the test prep will help improve your score on the NMLS with UST component.

You will need to complete several chapters made up of 5-minute sections that each come with a short quiz to check your comprehension of the material. Once you have completed the course, Mortgage Educators & Compliance will report your hours to the NMLS.

How is a Delaware Mortgage Broker License Different from a Delaware Loan Officer License?

Many people think mortgage brokers and mortgage loan officers are the same, but they are not. The confusion often leads people to pursue a mortgage broker license when they actually want a mortgage loan officer license. So what’s the difference between the two?

A mortgage broker is an entity that brings mortgage borrowers and lenders together. The broker employs mortgage loan officers to originate loans for homebuyers who need a mortgage loan.
